There is emergency relief port in the parking brake valve, left side of the transmission. But you need special tool for release the brake. if you dont have it, maybe easier remove the drive axle.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
